AFC Wimbledon, represented by Surbiton High School, were crowned winners of the 2026 Utilita Girls Cup after a penalty shootout victory over Tranmere Rovers at Wembley Stadium.

Surbiton, who triumphed in the competition last season, held their nerve from the spot after the Final finished 0-0 in normal time.

The game was a fairly even contest from the first whistle, but it was AFC Wimbledon who arguably had the best chance, but Evie Dechet's shot was well saved by Tranmere goalkeeper Mia Carroll.

Tranmere tried their best to find the opener in the second period, but the match ultimately ended goalless.

After a series of spectacular strikes from the penalty shot, it came down to sudden death, and it was Surbiton who ultimately triumphed.

Evie Dechet picked up a well-deserved Player of the Match award, with her performance in the middle of the park the standout.

AFC Wimbledon: Izzy Edwards (GK), Erin Trearty, Eleanor Eaton, Bea Clark, Claudia Williamson, Niamh Tierney, Nicole Goddard, Evie Dechet, Poppy Watts.

Tranmere Rovers: Mia Carroll (GK), Maleah O'Neill, Charlotte Mackie (c), Eva Proudlove, Erin Edwards, Poppy Harris Jones, Poppy Wilson, Gabrielle Forshaw, Mia Nelson
